Turk Cannady

February 7, 2008

The City Council would like to name the new Council and School Board Chambers in honor of Turk Cannady. The School Board will take up this issue at their next meeting on Monday, February 11.

He served the city as it grew rapidly from a small, rural town to a bustling Dallas suburb. Turk was ahead of his time and a lifelong supporter of his community named, “Cedar Hill.” His efforts benefited the city and school district alike.

Please share your memories of Turk and attend the School Board meeting to support the effort.

Update: The School Board agreed during their discussion to honor Turk by naming the joint room, the “T.W. Cannady, Cedar Hill Room”. What a wonderful tribute!
